I just want to calm down the scene. Whether those villagers will scold me in the future or hate me is not within my scope of consideration.

I will not have any interaction with them after I leave Yuzhu Village, but Old Liu Tou is different. There is still nostalgia between them. If Old Liu Tou is more cunning and cooperates with me to complete the trick, the rest will be fine.

Too much to do.

However, Lao Liutou came out and knelt down like this, which made me embarrassed.

I haven't completely frightened these people yet. As soon as Old Liu Tou begged for mercy, I borrowed Po Xia's donkey. When the war started, these villagers would use Old Liu Tou as a medium to negotiate terms with me, and it would be even harder for me to mobilize manpower.

I said with a cold face: "Old Liu, there are some things you can ask for, and some things you can't ask for. Whoever violates taboos has to pay the price."

When Old Liu shook his lips and wanted to speak, Zhao Zhuang suddenly stood up, picked up a wooden stick from the ground, and hit the villagers head-on, until the wooden stick was broken before he stopped: "Li

Sir, don't worry, from now on, we will all listen to you. If anyone dares to show his teeth again, I will skin them without you having to do anything."

I said calmly: "Can you guarantee it?"

As soon as Zhao Zhuang said "I can", my voice suddenly became sharp: "What guarantee do you have?"

Zhao Zhuang gritted his teeth and walked towards Laoqu, grabbed the other person's collar and lifted him up: "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm just selfish, I just want to save my son. You go!"

Zhao Zhuang grabbed the sharp knife that fell on the ground and was about to stab Lao Qu in the stomach. Lao Liu went up to his head and grabbed the other man's wrist, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Mr. Li, are you okay? No more people can die in the village.

!Otherwise the village will be really doomed!"

"Stop!" I stepped forward and said: "I don't have to kill people, but you are wrong about one thing. Not only will people die again in Fish Basket Village, but many people will die."

I said solemnly: "I want to conquer the underground palace. You people in Yulu Village must participate in the war. There is no room for negotiation."

"I am not a benevolent hero, and I have no obligation to save your family. If you want to save people, you have to do a life-threatening job with me."

"I won't care about the life or death of anyone who doesn't want to go."

I glanced at the villagers on the ground coldly: "Those who are willing to risk their lives, follow me to find a boat!"

After I finished speaking, I turned around and walked towards the village ancestral hall. The villagers also supported each other and followed me.

I always thought that there was no such thing as an ancestral hall in the village, but when I got there, I discovered that the so-called ancestral hall was just a warship half buried underground.

The people of Yulu Village pasted a layer of loess on the outside of the boat building to make it look like an ancestral hall.

No wonder, all the ghosts in Yulu Village hide in the mountains instead of using ancestral halls to defend themselves against enemies.

I looked at the door of the ancestral hall for a long time and then said to Zhao Zhuang: "Set the boat out and try not to damage anything in the boat. I want to see what mystery this boat hides?"

When Zhao Zhuang led people to dismantle the ancestral hall without saying a word, Old Liu Tou said tentatively: "Mr. Li, I want to talk to you. Don't get me wrong. I have no other intentions... I just..."

I said loudly enough for everyone to hear: "You just think the villagers are pitiful, right?"

"Old Liu! Do you know the phrase 'the father's debt is repaid by the son'? Have you ever heard the phrase 'the former's fields and the next's harvest', right?"

"You think the people in the village are reasonable, but I think the water ghosts in the underground palace are also reasonable! In those days when we guarded the water camp and didn't touch the underground palace, would we have suffered the disaster that happened in Yulu Village today?"

"This...this..." Old Liu Tou didn't know what to say.

I said again: "I'm not trying to reason with you. Jianghu is not a place for reason. If I tried to reason with you, I wouldn't be a warlock."

"So, no one should think that anyone is pitiful, and no one should think that anyone is justified. Winning is the most important thing."

Old Liu didn't come back to his senses for a long time, but I smiled and said, "It's a bit hard to accept, isn't it?"

"There are very few people in this world who will reason with you when they are in an advantageous position, especially ghosts, let alone ghosts."

"In the world of warlocks, you can only win and stay alive, which makes no sense."

While I was talking, a loud "bang" sound suddenly came from the direction of the ancestral hall.

Zhao Zhuang and the others did not know what mechanism they accidentally touched, and the earthen walls surrounding the ancestral hall fell to the ground as if they had been pushed down at the same time.

Before the dust and smoke in the air dissipated, there was a huge earthquake under my feet. The originally solid ground sank underground like a landslide. A trench several meters wide started from the bow of the ship and went into the distance.

Extend away.

As I watched the trench spread outward for several meters, it suddenly turned and rushed straight towards where Old Liu Tou and I were standing.

"The ground is collapsing, Mr. Li, run away!" Old Liu Tou wanted to come over and push me, but I grabbed my arm and lifted him up.

I jumped up with a person in my hand, jumped up several times and flew away in the direction of the warship.
Chapter completed!
